- Soak Tamrind in hot warm water (Around 1/2 cup approximately) for 10 -15 minutes and extract the juice
- Heat oil in a pan, add the items under 'to temper' and let it crackle. Add the Tamrind extract and cook till it starts bubbling up. Add coriander Powder, Cumin Powder, sambar Powder and salt; mix well and cook till it becomes a thick paste like consistency( takes around 2-3 minutes)
- Add the cooked potatoes and mix gently. Cook in low flame till tamrind paste becomes a thokku like consistency, stirring in regular intervals to prevent tamrind from sticking to the pan. Add extra oil if required
- Potato Thokku is ready. Tastes great with any rice accompaniment
